Many early SNES cartridges had a long crevice spanning the cartridge. This was to prevent people from pulling the cartridges out when the system was turned on. These were produced as late as March 1993, as some early ''[[LylatWiki:Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]'' cartridges were manufactured with this mold. Later SNES cartridges opted into a different design because people were possibly breaking their SNES units{{ref needed}}, at the very earliest of June 1993, as no ''[[Yoshi's Cookie]]'' or ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'' cartridges have this mold. The older cartridges will work on the redesigned SNES with no issues. It even lacks the tab to prevent people from pulling the cartridges out. Only America seems to have this redesign.
